If both families are stretching the truth about money, who exactly is being wronged?
Rabbi Klapper takes up money in shidduchim: if the girl's father pledges an amount everyone believes he can't afford, may you warn the other side? First, it's genuinely hard to know - people who seem to have nothing sometimes manage to come through. But beyond that, the Chofetz Chaim observes that both sides often shade the truth about what they'll bring to the match. Since each one is doing the same, they effectively knock each other out, and there's no reason to expose one side's exaggeration when the other is likely doing it too. As in every case of doubt about whether to speak, the best eitzah is to ask your rav first.
Listen in for the practical bottom line - more tomorrow.
